Wow, I seriously overloaded my Chevy Luv pickup with almost a cord of
Cottonwood... wet, Cottonwood... I actually took it over the
scales on I-5... I know that I had a ton of Cottonwood in the back,
that's 2,000 lbs of wood... The guy at the scale didn't say a
thing... When I was coming down a hill in Lynnwood the light changed
and I tried to stop... it was raining (of course) and the front
tires just locked up at the slightest touch... thankfully the light
changed before I had time to conduct a Physics experiment involving
Mass and the compressability of stressed metals...
After that experience, and others like it, I can see the benefits to
education and enforcement of weight restrictions...

Subject: Re: scores
the longer it took the filter to clog up during this test, the
better. As the filter got restricted, the vacuum or draw required
increased...
Trying to measure lower levels of vaccum with the filter unclogged is
not a very accurate means of testing a filter for a filter needs to
be able to hold dirt and keep it from getting into the engine as
well. If you look at some of the specs that K&N put out you'd think
theirs allows more airflow, which it may when perfectly clean, but
what happens after you drive down the road? That's what's important
to us, how much stuff will it block and hold, and how will it perform
when it's dirty... Shoot, we could all get really good air flow if
we didn't give a rip about protecting the engine, just yank the
filter out completely... so testing with dirt is much more
credible, repeatable and valuable to us consumers...

I wasn't worried doc, cause the first time I had a vehicle officially
weighed and they didn't weigh it all at once, I got out of my car and
into the office and had the state trooper explain it to me real
good... being the analyst that I am I also verified it several
times in different locations... :-)
Interesting note, I went down after the retreat today and got a load
of topsoil with the little wagoneer and the trailer... just barely
squeezed all three axles onto the scale, Becky with me, and the combo
weighed the same as Old Blue with me and Becky in it... about 5200
lbs...
And with Old Blue sitting in the driveway comatose, and a good engine
and tranny sitting in the garage... this information may be
useful... Why pay $350 to $500 for a tranny repair??? For less
than a couple hundred bucks I can install that spare motor... The
idea here is not to go further in debt... It's tempting, but time is
also precious....
BTW, please, please, please, if you want me to respond to something,
cc me, I'm scanning the lists very quickly... I'm even thinking of
jumping off the list, I've got too much stuff to do, and I can't not
respond to all the fun... :-)
Don't get the idea that I don't want to answer questions or help with
ideas... I just can't afford to spend the time going through the
lists or all the email to respond... I'm also getting email from
my web pages on other topics... I never realized that Pastor
Wurmbrand was such a respected person... I get email all the time
because of a photo I took of him when I met him in Germany in 1980.
(He had been imprisoned and tortured by the communists for 14
years...)
gotta run, only 21 messages (about 6 of 'em digest... arghhh...)
Also, don't hesitate to send photos and write-ups on your FSJ's, even

John,
I have a 1978 Jeep Cherokee Chief (Levi's Edition w/ some denim
intact, would you believe??!!). I have had little luck in finding
aftermarket suppliers for interior items. I am particularly looking
for info on aftermarket 60/40 benches to replace the old OEM seat I
have now. Is it common in size to any of the GM 60/40's? Also looking
for a good weather seal supplier. Any suggestions on either count??
Please let me know...

Why don't the rest of you see if you can get together with at least
one other FSJ in your area, take a group shot, describe the rigs, and
the folks that made it and we'll bundle the whole thing up onto a web
page and I'll write it all up for Four Wheeler.
One or as many photos as you'd like... I'll put the thing
together. Doc, do you want me to send you all the pictures and you
can select the ones you want? or do you just want to snatch the ones
you want off of the finished page?
Whaddya all say? (If you meet without your FSJ's, then just take a
picture of the owners with them holding a picture or a card stating
what year FSJ they own....

It's a good plan. It's also recommended if you have hubs to lock
them in first, that way if you try to go into sand, mud or water in
2wd and need 4wd you can grab it quickly and not sink in...
It'll give you a good feel for what your vehicle can do. There will
be times that you will get stuck using this method... I know, I
just did it today when I got my little wagoneer stuck in the creek in
the back yard trying to turn around with the trailer loaded... :-)

good point. but I also heard that he apologized to his mother
because his father had been killed by a drunk driver... It sounds
to me like he made a mistake. Perhaps the Lord will use this
experience to introduce him to Jesus... Wouldn't that be great!!

If you did and it still didn't start then its not the same problem I had:) what was wrong with mine was the carb was letting too much gas in as it heated up causing it to flood. keeping the pedle to the metal causes all that extra gas to burn up and lets it start.

the atlas says 88 miles to Seattle, I'm 26 miles NE of Seattle,
so I'd say around 70 or so miles (120km's).
I can get to Mt. Vernon in about 30 minutes, in another 20 minutes
I'm in Bellingham... So less than an hour probably...
We did Expo 86 twice. Both times we drove up, did the entire Fair,
including fireworks at the end, and drove back. We left here about
8am and returned by 2am each time... Rough guess you're looking at
a 2 and a half hour drive from your house to mine taking it easy.
That's based on the old 55mph (89km) speed limit too...
You guys are gonna shame me into getting Old Blue fixed... You guys
are fantastic, all of you. All I can say is, "what a rush". To
see those FSJ decals on the sides of those rigs at Moab made my
weekend. Brian, Joe, Jim Jr. and all the others that commented and
offered suggestions, we really did something cool... Just stop and
think about what we're involved with here. We're making history on
several fronts, the internet, the world of Full-Size Jeeps and
off-roading in general.
Guys, we ARE full-size jeeps. And it's not just one site or one
individual, it's a real team effort. Those decals had multiple
ideas and multiple skill sets invovled...

I did, and very thankful I had three of 'em... Old Blue is still
comatose in the driveway (amazing how he failed IN the driveway and
not somewhere between work and home or home and the Men's retreat...
coincidence??? HA! oh ye of little faith... :-)
And then today, while helping my lovely bride in her gardening chores
I buried the little wagoneer in the creek in the back yard... with
a yard of top soil in the trailer.... It was kind of exciting...
actually had the rear wheel airborne and the little jeep laying on
it's rock sliderz on the passenger side... Had a miserable time
getting out of the door... Had to disconnect the trailer (probably
the only reason it got stuck and why it didn't roll over
completely...) and then tried to drive out... no way... So I got
the gray wagoneer (#3) and had Becky do her FIRST recovery
operation... she didn't realize that when extracting a vehicle and
it starts to come out that you're supposed to keep pulling... so she
got to extract me a second time... The Lord is good, this time the
extraction process was performed without the benefit of rain... :-)
what would I do without three jeeps??? (ideas immediately come to
mind, don't drive in the back yard, get a winch, listen to my wife
and don't drive as close to the creek... :-)

Not east of Bellingham, SOUTH.
I am on State Route 9, due east of I-5 about 5 miles. I can almost
see downtown Everett. I am less than 5 miles south of the Snohomish
River... (Harvey Field Airport).
If you look on a map, find Woodinville - we're 7 miles north of
woodinville, 6 miles south of Snohomish, 5 miles east of Everett and
about 5 miles or so West of Monroe...
We're about 26 miles North and a little east of Seattle...
Look for I-5, find I-405, follow it south a little and it intersects
near Bothell with SR522, go east on SR522 about 3 miles to SR9, turn
left and head north 6 miles to my house. (or find I-90 where it
connects with I-405, follow it north until it intersects with 522...)
OR, as you're coming down I-5 southbound, take US 2 East until you
come to STATE ROUTE 9, turn right and go south. when you cross the
river you're about 4 or 5 miles from my house. From the steel
bridge over the Snohomish River you'll go through a light on Marsh
Road (this area is a flood plain and has been under water... twice in
the 12 years we've lived here) and continue to the next light at the
bottom of the hill. That is Lowell-Larimer Road, you are starting up
a long hill, 1 mile up that hill, on the left is my driveway. (You
go from about 10 feet above sea level to 350 feet - the top of the
hill is about 2.5 miles past my drive and is at 650 feet.)
Coming up the hill my driveway is the second one on the left past the
Cathcart Landfill (closed) which is on the right (west side) of the
highway...

the FSJ decals are different than the IFSJA stickers... Doc's logo
is different, isn't it? It has the globe with the IFSJA spelled out
on it... Weren't we going to look into making some of those?
THE FSJ decals aren't really the same, as evidenced by non FSJ-list
members sporting them.
I mean, if we're really gonna be cool, we have to use doc's ORIGINAL
IFSJA type logo... :-)
There is STILL room left on the driver's side rear window on Old
Blue...
I think doc is having trouble finding a printer that can keep the
globe spinning though... :-)
(seriously, doc were you looking at creating a unique decal for the
IFSJA organizations? or are we gonna use the
john-brian-jimjr-joe's-son rendition? If so, perhaps we could get
a small banner made up with International Full-Size Jeep Assocation
on it to put underneath the FSJ-logos...
It would have been nice to put a URL on the FSJ decals, but which
one? two would have been too busy...
oh well...

I agree with Joe... I've done headers once, never again...
You're better off with a free flowing hi-perf cat and Flowmaster or
similar turbo muffler...
I picked up 2 seconds in 0 to 60 runs doing so...

Warren,
What a trip. I was just down in Eugene to pick up a 4.0L & tranny...
:-) In fact, I probably have your phone number from Super Ken if
you're the same guy he mentioned... By the time I got loaded up it
was pretty late...
It took me three tanks of gas to get down and back... wait, Old Blue
is tango uniform, so that means I'll have to take the little
wagoneer... so I may only need a couple tanks...
is the tranny & xfr case out of the rig?

Subject: NE FSJ fest (and it rained)
The first NE FSJ fest was held yesterday under mostly rainy skies. Was
this some sorta PNW chapter conspiracy? Shipping their weather back
east to us. Inquiring minds want to know. Weather didn't dampen the
enthusiasm of the attendees. Six owners and four Wags - two units set
up for trailing and two mostly stock units (not counting replacement
parts). Pretty good 1'st time out. Nice to get acquainted and share
some stories. Kudos to Steve for getting it organized and kudos to Tom
for driving all the way up from Jersey to join us.
I took a bunch of pictures (Canon AE1 - old thread). I'll get them
developed, scanned, and will pass them along to John, Doc, and Tom (NE
FSJ site) for the sites. Mike had a digital camera. Don't know much
about uploading files from one of these bunnies but maybe that could be
done sooner? A while back there was a thread re: digitizing some video
for inclusion in the sites. Not sure if anyone still needs a hand
getting this done but my hand is up. Company I work for is the original
developer of digital non-linear editing systems (word processors for
video and film).
Great outing: nice people, nice time, and (of course) nice trucks.
Maybe next outing will be further south so we can meet some of the folks
from Penn. Watch out, we'll be covering the east coast with FSJ's
before ya know it.
take care
